I have had a NetLibrary account for a long time. I've used NetLibrary to research a particular topic but do not read the books online. The format is awkward and slow. I have demonstrated its use to library customers when a book on a particular topic cannot be found. I will show them the Table of Contents and if the book has an index, show them how to use it to locate a particular page or section.
WorldCat has been helpful in finding bibliographic information for ILL's. I searched for a book written by one of my cousins and found it had 302 entries. Then I searched for anything written by William Dunlap who was born in Perth Amboy NJ and is one of the first American playwrights. Copies of his work are held by several NJ colleges and universities.
